My Darling, My Dearest novel Chapter 35

Rachel came back and said, "Tell me the truth. Did you know that something would happen to me?"

Jack stood quietly for a long moment, saying nothing. Rachel stared at him in the eye, waiting for an answer. Eventually she ran out of patience. She waved her hand and said, "Forget about it."

Rachel turned around primly and walked away. It was not until her figure disappeared across the road that Jack withdrew his gaze and went inside.

The situation became clearer two days later. Rachel was told that these people were hired to deal with Jack. Their purpose was to kidnap her and threaten Jack.

The man behind this had run away, and the police were trying to catch him. Rachel thanked Jonny and hung up.

After that, Jack did not come to her again, nor did he explain clearly.

Rachel stayed quiet for a few days to think it through. She was not angry about being kidnapped. She was angry that Jack had approached her for some evil purpose. It made her feel so distressed and foolish.

A few days later, Jonny called and said that the main culprit had been captured, and mentioned that Jack knew about it. Jack was ready to visit the police station. Jonny asked if she would come and learn about the situation. ■3

Hearing that, Rachel refused. She wanting nothing to do with this matter now. She would let Jack deal with it himself, and she wouldn't get involved.

After resting for two or three days, Rachel went back to the hospital. When she was making the rounds, she found Mendes1 plaster had been removed. When he saw her, he cried and rushed to her with great enthusiasm.

Rachel was flung back two steps by the force of Mendes' push. When she saw this, Celia was furious. She pulled the boy to the side and told him forcefully, "Don't move!"

But Mendes paid no attention to her. He kept wriggling like a small bug. Unable to control him, Celia had to threaten him, "I won't care about you if you break your arm again."

Mendes pouted his lips, and finally stopped moving. Rachel couldn't help but smile.

Celia released her brother. When she saw Mendes walking towards Rachel, she couldn't help but feel jealous. "Whose brother are you? It's obvious that I've been taking care of you all day long. Why are so being so close with Dr. Shen instead?"

Mendes didn't have the time to listen to Celia's self-pitying chatter. He was so excited that he held Rachel's leg tightly, and said, "Rachel! I missed you so much!"

Celia couldn't stand seeing her brother's stupid expression, so she turned around with her hand on her forehead. ■3

Compared to the other children, who were afraid of the doctors, Mendes was a freak. His favorite person in this hospital was Rachel.

Rachel touched his soft hair gently. When she went back to her office, he trailed her like an eager puppy.

When several nurses saw Mendes, they couldn't resist coming over to him and playing with him. When Rachel came out of her office, he had received a lot of fruits and snacks.

With them in his arms, Mendes walked up to Rachel and said happily, "Rachel, here is one for you."

Rachel bowed down and pinched his face. She said with an indulgent smile, "Just one? You are too mean."

"Well... how about two?"

After a moment's thought, he continued with reluctance, "You can choose whatever you like."

Rachel deliberately chose some of his favorite things, to tease him. She said, "I want these, okay?"

The boy got a little upset. He bit his lips, unable to be happy about giving those away, but couldn't say no.

With a sigh, she put them back in his arms. Then she shook her head and said, "Since you don't want to give them to me, I won't force you."

"It's not like... I..." Ultimately, he just couldn't speak. He only whined to her, pitifully, "Rachel..."

Rachel tried not to laugh. When she was about to speak again, she heard a familiar voice behind ■3

her, saying in a slightly teasing manner, "You are bullying a child again."

Rachel was stunned and turned back quickly, with her eyes wide open.

Lucas hadn't seen Rachel for a long time. After a long journey from overseas, he stood in front of her again. He looked a little thinner than before. He raised his hand and shook it in front of her eyes. With a playful smile on his lips, he asked lightly, "What's wrong? Can't you recognize me?"

Someone cried out, "Dr. Zhou!"

As Rachel looked at the slender figure in front of her, she smiled sweetly. "Lucas!"

She was overwhelmed with surprise.

"Why didn't you tell me when you came back? I would have picked you up at the airport." Rachel offered him a cup of tea. Lucas took it over, blew on it and took a sip. "You're really surprised, aren't you?"

Rachel looked him up and down, and said, "Other people put on weight when they go abroad! Why do you seem to have lost so much weight?"

Lucas smiled, "I went there for training, not to take a holiday like them."

Sitting on a chair, Mendes was sitting next to Rachel and looking at Lucas with curiosity.
